to find weeping Bishops at the news of women being let in a bit much in this day?

[plumandolive]

There were bishops weeping and praying and saying they were forced into a corner because women are being allowed to be bishops.
Sorry that's really badly phrased. dh is stirring things up in the background.
I find it sickening actually. Discrimination at it's worst... they'll all go and join the catholics now.
Retrogressive.....

I saw on tv a woman from the Synod who said that she had no problem with women in positions of authority over men in the secular world, but that it wouldn't be right in the church.

She didn't say why it should be so different in the church, or what is so terrible with a man being answerable to a woman.

Also on tv it quoted a bit from the New Testament saying that God created us all equal, male and female, rich and poor etc etc. (forget the exact quote). But the point is, you cannot just quote a bit out of the bible to justify what you want, because there is always something else in the bible that will argue the opposite.

I'd like to ask the sexist Anglicans WHY they think God would want to discriminate.
